Weaving the thread of the Yoga Sutra: What is my true nature?
Yoga is exploring who you are through posture, breath, thinking and feeling
What happens when you are relaxed? Are there ways of being distracting you from just being with what is? If there are ways of being that can be turned on and off, are they essential? What is left when those ways of being are turned off? Does that even happen, ever? Where are all those ways of being manifesting?

Weaving the Yoga Sutra: Who do you think you are?
Reflection on your identity
How do you describe yourself? What do you identify with? To what extent do your labels define you or influence what you think you can and cannot do? Are these labels at your service or are you at the service of these labels?

Weaving the Yoga Sutra: Attitude and curiosity
What do you discover when you examine your attitude?
What influences your attitude? How well can you modulate your attitude?
What ignites your curiosity? It is essential that you make your own choices instead of letting others decide things for you.

Yoga Sutra 4.19 Individual consciousness is neither independent nor autonomous.
Individual consciousness can be a translucent window between Consciousness and the world
All yoga practices remove obstacles to experiencing the world with absolute clarity. Awareness is accessible only in the present moment. To what extent are your ways of being (including your activities, tendencies, beliefs, and personal history) illuminating or obscuring the connection between vitality and the world of experience?

Yoga Sutra 4.7 Karma of three kinds
Those who are not immersed in samadhi generate three types of karma.
Yogis who have achieved integration, by living beyond attachment to results, do not accumulate karma. For others, karma is negative, positive and mixed. Can you notice how your current situation may have been influenced by your previous intentions and actions?
Are you aware of past impressions that are still active in you?
Do your actions reflect a growing balance within you?

Yoga Sutra 4.6 Mind doesn't generate impressions (samskaras)
Free from the ways of being, conscious and balanced actions
Meditation is sustainable and makes it easy to act without leaving subconscious impressions that generate an endless chain of reactions and afflictions. Are you freer of expectations and attachments to the results of your actions? How do you know if your actions are the result of your deep emotional balance?

Yoga Sutra 3.18 Samyama on impressions (samskaras)

What are the effects of impressions left by previous events in your mind, body, attitude, emotions, intentions, choices, actions and interactions?

Yoga Sutra 2.40 Effects of clarity I (shaucha)
How do you cultivate clarity in your own life?
Are there areas of your mental, physical, or emotional life that you choose to ignore?
What is the nature of the blockages that you find? Is it possible that some of those blockages result from your own beliefs? Is there a relationship between who you think you should be and those blockages?
